System and method for radio resource management in a communication system

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for managing radio resources for providing wireless access to a communication system to a number of terminals. The communication system comprises a first access network ( 120 ) using a first access technology and at least one second access network ( 110 ) using at least one second access technology different to the first access technology. A listening agent ( 203 ) situated in at least the first access network ( 120 ) extracts access relevant information from existing messages within at least the first access network. The access relevant information is sent to an access selection manager ( 201 ) that compares the extracted access relevant information to access relevant information received from the at least one second access network ( 110 ) and determines which access network a terminal ( 130 ) should access based on the comparison.
